[Verse 1]
Cm Ab
Sometimes I get im-patient
Cm F7
but she cools me without words
Cm Db9
and she comes so sweet and softly
Ab G7
my hummingbird and have you heard
Cm Ab
that I thought my life had ended
Cm F7
but I find that it's just be-gun
Cm
cause she gets me where I live
Db9
I'll give all I have to give
Ab Ab/A# D#sus D#
I'm talking about that humming-bird
[Chorus]
Ab D#/G
oh she's little and she loves me
A#/F D#
too much for words to say
A#/D Db C
when I see her in the morning sleeping
Ab D#/G
she's little and she loves me
A#/F D#
to my lucky day
D#/F Ab/A# A# G7
hummingbird don't fly away
[Verse 2]
Cm Ab
When I'm feeling wild and lonesome
Cm F7
she knows the words to say
Cm Db9
and she gives me a little under-standing
Ab
in her special way
G7
and I just have to say
Cm Ab
in my life I loved a woman
Cm F7
because she's more than I de-serve
Cm
and she gets me where I live
Db
I'll give all I have to give
Ab Ab/A# D#
I'm talking about that humming-bird
[Chorus]
Ab D#/G
oh she's little and she loves me
A#/F D#
too much for words to say
A#/D Db C
when I see her in the morning sleeping
Ab D#/G
she's little and she loves me
A#/F D#
to my lucky day
D#/F Ab/A# A#
hummingbird don't fly away
[Coda (repeat and fade)]
Ab D# A#
Don’t fly away – ay - away
